Thus, this dissertation presents four articles on the possibilities of an ecology of knowledge in rural education. The results are expected to contribute to the debate on the importance of science teaching in the construction of what scholars, such as Boaventura de Sousa Santos, have called the ecology of knowledge, from the perspective of a vision of Science that encompasses traditional knowledge, historically silenced by modern scientific activity.
